An illegal alien who was previously deported was arrested in Texas on suspicion of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old child.
Jose Hernandez was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child after his arrest in Conroe on Jan. 12. Officials said he was trying to flee to Mexico when he was captured.
Investigators with the office, along with special agents with the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the U.S. Marshals Service, located Hernandez and apprehended him.
The sheriff’s office said that Hernandez is in the country illegally and has been deported back to Mexico multiple times, meaning he was already a criminal for committing the felony crime of re-entering the United States after being deported.
Hernandez is being held at the Montgomery County Jail and ICE has placed a hold on him; once he’s worked his way through the court system, he will be deported again.
Trump Addresses Illegal Immigrant Crime
President Donald Trump has been making the case recently in his push for the southern border wall that not only are vulnerable migrants preyed upon as they make their way north but criminals who are able to enter the country illegally commit a number of crimes in the United States.“America’s heart broke the day after Christmas when a young police officer in California was savagely murdered in cold blood by an illegal alien, who just came across the border. The life of an American hero was stolen by someone who had no right to be in our country,” he added, citing a number of other crimes confirmed or allegedly committed by illegal aliens.
“Over the last several years, I’ve met with dozens of families whose loved ones were stolen by illegal immigration. I’ve held the hands of the weeping mothers and embraced the grief-stricken fathers. So sad. So terrible. I will never forget the pain in their eyes, the tremble in their voices, and the sadness gripping their souls,” he said. “How much more American blood must we shed before Congress does its job?”
In addition to the criminals themselves, he noted, organizations smuggle huge quantities of drugs over the border.
